Well, this chair is finally done and has made it to the outside.
It's right here for now but will probably be put somewhere that I can grown yellow flowers around the legs.
Who doesn't love a butterfly?

That is wondrous Bethie, too beautiful to actually sit on. How long in total did it take to make? And just where do you find the time?

Can you sit on it, Bethie? I would be afraid I would break it. It is lovely.

Well I don't think your chair and other butterflies look right in your garden Bethie - no not at all. I think they all want to flutter over here to Scotland and settle in my garden!!!  They'd look wonderful on my patio.

Thanks so much for the nice compliments. It IS a mosaic and no, I don't think I would want to sit on glass. I think you can sit on it but then you would have to tell some people NOT to sit on it if you know what I mean. 
Frank, you always ask about time but their is no real answer there. It just sits around (usually in the way) until it gets finished or pushed aside. I get tired of glass and junk all over the table but hubby says if there is room for his coffee cup then he is good. Isn't he good.

Awww, you've got a good 'un there, bethie! I'm sure you know that.
I get frustrated with my own jumble of projects in all stages of semi-completion.
I remember throwing a mini-hissy-fit and saying
"Pigs!!!  It looks like pigs live here!!"
Hubby smiled sweetly, and calmly said "Happy pigs."
If I hadn't already been wild for the boy,
I would have fallen for him in that moment.
